Battery

Charging the battery

Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for extended

periods.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or

cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.

1 Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor, and then plug the end of the USB cable

into the multipurpose jack.

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any

damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

2 Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.

Basics

3 After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger

from the device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.

To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a

power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in

use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket

and easily accessible while charging.

Viewing the remaining charging time

While charging, open the Home screen and tap

Battery

The actual charging time may vary depending on the status of your device and the

charging conditions. The remaining charging time may not be displayed when you

charge the device in very cold or very hot conditions.

Your device provides various options that help you conserve battery power.

•

Optimise the device using the Smart manager.

•

When you are not using the device, switch to sleep mode by pressing the Power key.

•

Activate power saving mode.

•

Close unnecessary apps.

•

•

Basics

Battery charging tips and precautions

•

When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.

•

If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on immediately

when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes

before turning on the device.

•

If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection to

another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data

transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.

•

Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower

charging speed due to a lower electric current.

•

The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the

battery.

•

If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not

function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

•

While charging, the device and the charger may heat up. This is normal and should not

affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the

charger may stop charging.

•

If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a Samsung

Service Centre.
